I played a show with Mel Torme' that will be hard to beat. Chris Brubeck, with his orchestral Xmas charts, was close. Otherwise...
Rimsky-Korsakov....Russian Easter Overture
Dvorak......Cello Concerto
Sibelius....2nd

Rimsky-Korsakov....Russian Easter Overture, Dvorak......Cello Concerto, Sibelius....2nd

I agree with Steve. The above program could have also been written by me. However, I will also offer a favorite program:

- Overture to Die Meistersinger, Wagner
- Mathis der Maler, Hindemith
- Symphony #1, The Sea, Vaughn-Williams

I would love to see someone good program Sibelius 1 for the first half of a concert that closed with Sibelius 2. To me they feel like one long, amazing, powerful opus. Listen to top-drawer recordings of them end to end and you'll hear what I mean. After 100+ minutes of all that Nordic overload, the coda in Mvt 4 of 2 makes for an amazing tonal orgasm. For an encore, throw in a Finlandia and a cigar.

It would also be cool to program Barber's First and Second Essays back to back. (I'm not as fond of the Third though.)

On may 5th I'm playing the Broughton tuba concerto and finishing with Sibelius 2.

[Chadtuba]

Washington Post March - Sousa
Irish Tune from County Derry - Grainger
Suite in F - Holst
La Fiesta Mexicana - Reed
Symphonic Songs for Band - Robert Russell Bennet

I'm having a hard time coming up with anything better than this one for my tastes. Maybe substitute the Grainger for Russian Christmas Music, but both are great choices.
